Ex-Swiss Guard Decries Mandatory Vaccination as ‘Scandalous’ and ‘Inhumane’
Edward Pentin ^ | 10/10/21 | Ed Pentin

The website Renovatio 21 has published an open letter from one of three former Swiss Guards who refused to undergo the mandatory vaccination against Covid being applied to the Pontifical military corps in Vatican City State.

All three of them lost their job, but Pierre-André Udressy wanted to go public and provide some background to his decision.

He began his open letter by explaining that he had no grounds for medical exemption but added that he wanted to think about this choice, not with “pro or anti” vaccine biases in general.

“All I wanted to do was understand the implications and the reasons for ‘such a vaccine’ to be ‘administered under such conditions, to such a population, in such a place,’” he wrote.

He paints a picture of considerable injustices being perpetrated within the Vatican, adding that he has witnessed pressure being “progressively and subversively placed on people to convince them to undertake a burden they didn’t want to take.”

Udressy concluded: “What is certain is that, in all this, what we are experiencing has nothing human let alone Christian about it, and it is truly intolerable to see the holy Vatican City come to this point!” (see his 11 points below).

'A Terrible Choice’

Since the publication of the letter, Udressy has given an interview, also published in Renovatio, in which he revealed he had contracted Covid in December 2020 and so did not see a medical reason to take the vaccine.

He said in the exchange, published Oct. 10, that the Guards were given the opportunity to take the jab around Christmas last year, but “no one signed up because everyone doubted the vaccine.” This then led to seminars being held to convince them to take it but they did not sway him.

These bits of fighting for freedom and common sense are the energy that keeps me going.

“In practice, unvaccinated guards could be fired,” he said, and “informed me that the decision came not only from the Secretariat of State, but from the authority of the Vatican.”

Asked by Renovatio if, by that, Udressy meant the Pope, he replied: “It is so. It was also explained that there was no other option, not even waiting an extra month for a traditional type of vaccine.

So much for mercy from the dictator pope.

Not very Christian of the Vatican. Where’s the belief in God and His watching over us and His healing power?

Inder Bergoglio, the Vatican has been reduced to a mere chaplaincy of the international globalist elite. It’s a sad thing to witness, but we were warned. St Maximilian Kolbe was in Rome in 1917, when freemasons were rallying in honor of their 200th anniversary. Kolbe reported seeing banners reading, “Satan must reign in the Vatican. The Pope will be his slave.” Are we there yet? I think we may be...
